Red Steel 2 devs hope to release their game around March
October 5th, 2009 Posted in News, Wii, Written by ValayThe last time we heard about Red Steel’s 2 release date, Ubisoft announced that the title had been delayed. The game is now on track to ship sometime in the third fiscal quarter. However, the Red Steel 2 team has a more specific time frame in mind. Creative Director Jason Vandenberghe stated in a recent interview that gamers can expect the title to be available sometime around March and also elaborated on the reason why Red Steel 2 was delayed.
“You can look for Red Steel 2 somewhere around…Middle end of February, early March, something in there. We don’t have an exact date but we’re shooting for it being done around that timeframe. We got an extension outside of Christmas, which was something the team asked for and we’re really glad that we got it because it means we have the time to do what we’re doing now, which is polish the difficulty ramp across the whole game so that it’s not just cool at the beginning and then no good for the rest of it. And also, work on combining all of our pieces together, making the finish moves and the enemies all work together. So we’re using that time to good effort. So hopefully all will go well with that and I think it will.”

Dear Mr. Vandenberghe,
I think I speak for everyone when I say, take as much time you need to make this game the best it can possibly be, but we don’t want to wait in vain.

I’m fine with an extra few months. Gives me time to play FFCC and NMH2.

better not come out when MH3 comes out. I’ve been waiting for RS 2 for a while now, but Mosnter Hunter will get my money if it comes out at the same time.

Hopefully Ubisoft will realize that it wouldn’t be wise to release RS2 right around the time Monster Hunter 3 comes out.

Well maybe since they are taking extra time to complete this they can finally add a multiplayer mode, since they originally said they wouldn’t have time for that addition in this game, well now they do have the time !!!
